The cost is in the $1500 + range if you get all of the different extensions, as low as $300 for the stripped down base model. I'm doing the 14 day evaluation now & for me it needs to be longer.
From what I've seen so far, if you get the extensions they have a couple of features that appear to give pretty accurate (best I've seen so far is an 87.5 win percentage through back testing) entry & exit points. I just received a dvd from them though & it talks about using a certain company to trade through. If this is mandatory I can see why it hasn't been mentioned before. The rates sound very high through them. Granted, it's been a year since I've done any trading & with just a few months of experience before that, I'm a relative novice, but $3 to $9 per side for futures is extreme if I remember right. At those rates they will probably pocket everything I'd make & more using an auto trader.
What do you guys use & would it be something you'd recommend for someone fairly new to trading?
